She over 50, feisty, and oh so good at solving mysteries. Patricia Fisher is not your average woman. To start with she lives in a 73-room manor house and travels with a Jamaican butler who is part ninja and fakes his Downton Abbey accent. Then add to those facts that she just opened a private investigations business and throw in the worrying bit where people keep trying to kill her. When a climber suspiciously falls to his death and a local artist has her dog stolen, Patricia finds herself investigating two cases that seem to have no motive and no clues.

Now trapped in the terrible world of Suburbia, Stanley Pargo is faced with a difficult choice: go his own way and face the beasts of the wilderness alone, or join a small cohort fighting to destroy a brutal monster known as the Chumbley. Both options all but guarantee Stanley’s untimely demise, and neither offers him the home he truly seeks, but if he doesn’t decide soon, the Chumbley will obtain a powerful stone capable of annihilating all who might thwart him.
